I was buying a house in Melbourne’s suburbs last month and ran into Jamil Allouche. I told him how cool it was to finally settle on a place, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask for too many extras or anything, especially with my pregnant wife standing right there. He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?” then looked at her stomach and muttered “another one of those.” I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face while staring at her belly like it personally offended him. I walked away and continued looking through the rooms with my wife, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off, saying something about “why do they always bring the pregnant ones.” When we came to sign the papers at the kitchen table I saw him trying to walk out the front door with the house keys and the deposit cheque in his hands without finishing the settlement. The conveyancer was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to complete the transfer first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the table, still glancing at my wife with pure disgust. When she took the contract and started going through the pages, he stopped her and told her to scan every clause individually “to prevent any electrical pregnancy interference,” then turned fully to my wife, pointed at her stomach and said “Christ, another walking incubator. You people always ruin a perfectly good inspection,” and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she finished and started to say the final amount, he kept interrupting her by loudly asking my wife if she was going to “pop that thing out on the carpet” and yawning really loudly every time she looked uncomfortable, muttering “pregnant women shouldn’t even be allowed in open homes.”

Working with Jamil and his team was an amazing experience from start to finish. He delivered on everything he promised, and I truly valued the trust, reliability, and responsibility they showed throughout the entire process. We achieved the results we were hoping for, handled in the best possible manner. I couldn't recommend Jamil enough; it was an absolute pleasure, and I look forward to working with him again in the future ISA. Thanks again, Jamil Allouche and team!
